[laughter] >> my sense is that the commerce clause holding, if it is holding -- there is a lot of controversy about whether the five votes in the commerce clause amount to a holding has any teeth. there is reason to say no. the decision itself said the mandate was novel. that would make you think that existing laws are insulated from challenge. it would also make you think the same -- that no sane congress is going to

it is not the headquarters of federal employees. 85% of them live in our cities and towns and suburbs. let's all agree that deficit reduction is a priority. and it is appropriate to lead at the top. nor should federal employees be exempt from this leadership by example. but it does stop at the top not at the bottom of the federal work force. these employees live under often greatly differing standards of living depending on where they live in the country. it is up to us to lead by example not federal employees, although they should not be exempt from this leadership role. it is an unfair ruse to pair the most favored federal employees, members of congress, with the least favored, federal employees across the board. some come from -- some are paid a great deal, some are paid very little, some come from high cost areas of the country, some come from low cost areas of the country. look, most of our constituents will understand who we were voting for and who we were voting against. democrats have a long history of respecting civil servants. republicans have spent years deriding them in go

people who pay the full amount of the tax the right to get a refund because the city had given reasons why it was rational not to give them a refund. that was a case where justice thomas and justice kennedy joined with the others -- three others. justice roberts wrote a strong dissenting opinion joined by the two other justices. the lesson we saw was that the way things go in oral arguments to not necessarily tell you the outcome of the case. in that case, he did win, even though many susa the oral arguments that he would not. thank you so much for having me today.

tomorrow you're going up to new york city where you're going to, i assume, see people still suffering the effects of hurricane sandy which many people say is further evidence of how a warming globe is changing our weather. what specifically do you plan to do in a sec term to tackle the issue of climate change? and do you think the political will exists in washington to pass legislation that could include some kind of attacks on carbon? >> you know, as you know, mark, we can't attribute any particular weather event to climate change. what we do know is the temperature around the globe is increasing. faster than was predicted even 10 years ago. we do know that the arctic icecap is melting, faster than was predicted even five years ago. we do know there have been extraordinarily -- there have been an extraordinarily large number of severe weather events here in north america but also around the globe. and i am a firm believer that climate change is real, that it is impacting by human behavior and by carbon emissions and i think we have an obligation to future yen rations to do something
